Children in Lowestoft will be able to enjoy a brand new play area after YMCA Trinity Group revamped its YMCA Childcare St. Margaret’s Road early year’s setting.

The new play area at YMCA Childcare St. Margaret’s Road in Lowestoft will be opened on Monday, September 7.

The outdoor space was transformed thanks to support from companies including Apec Groundworks Ltd, Taydal Surfacing and Cullum Line.

With YMCA Childcare St. Margaret’s Road registered to provide care for up to 55 children at any one time, aged up to 12, the new play area will be used to teach children key social interaction skills, such as taking turns to use the new facilities, road safety and maths.

It features road markings, raised flower beds, a zebra crossing and a pretend car wash.
